Effect

Circular Blur

Spin or radially smear detail around a chosen centre point.

Spin and radial smears mimic camera moves and optical tricks that streak detail around a centre. Think fairground rides, zooming lenses and the swirl of a long exposure on a turntable.

Centre point and strength decide whether the motion feels like a gentle orbit or a hard spin.
